How Long Before We All Use Driverless Cars?

Best Best & Krieger LLP attorney Greg Rodriguez said during a recent panel discussion hosted by Arizona Forward that local governments will need to consider their role in helping the autonomous vehicles industry develop.

The Arizona Republic reported on the event, which brought experts together to discuss self-driving cars.

"The question is, are we setting the legal and policy foundation to get this right?" Gregory said.

He added that, while there are potentially many benefits, “policies need to encourage smart use of the technology so that roads don't get more congested with single-occupancy cars where people are all ‘watching Netflix’ while leaving public transit empty,” the Republic reported.
